Igor Bunich’s book `Party Gold`, offered to readers, was the number one bestseller across the vast expanses of Russia during the last decade. What is the reason for such success?
After all, mountains of literature have already been written and rewritten about the cunning Ilyich, nimble commissars, and Chekists with cold heads. The answer is simple: Igor Bunich was the first to present the October Revolution, Lenin’s seizure of power with his associates, and the ensuing seventy-year history of the USSR from the point of view of money — gold — the vile metal — eternally green convertible currency.
